As Mock Crises Mount 08 May 2008 A national disaster exercise that began last week involves the evacuation of thousands of federal personnel from Washington, D.C., the Washington Post reported [Buried in the 'Metro' section, Page B08]. http://204.71.60.36/d_newswire/issues/2008/4/29/8c918c93-c6a7-4983-aaa8-3dc9bcccdb0e.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/06/AR2008050602687.html In National Exercise 2-08, which continues through Saturday, [Bush bin Laden's] terrorists release a poisonous gas from a tanker in Washington state while Oregon authorities must handle the unintentional escape of nerve agent from the Umatilla Chemical Depot. Meanwhile, the capital region is faced with a terrorist threat and a major hurricane making its way up the East Coast. Over three days this week, the federal government is using cars and helicopters to move large numbers of employees to temporary sites in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The drill is intended to test the ability to maintain "continuity of government" in the face of a crisis. This is among the largest such drills since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, officials said. President [sic] George W. Bush was not expected to be among the evacuees, but some White House personnel would be sent out of town, said spokesman Scott Stanzel. http://204.71.60.35/d%5Fnewswire/issues/2004/4/7/c8a4677e%2D9812%2D40ef%2D8eb6%2Dca2510619e5b.html **Cheney aide subpoenaed to testify to Congress** 07 May 2008 U.S. Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney's chief of staff was subpoenaed on Wednesday to testiLIE in a congressional probe of the administration's treatment and possible torture of enemy combatants.
